I get several email entries to the current PCH $3m contest a day,,, and another current contest for "A Million Dollars per year for Life". This morning i got one that said "Search now to get triple entries!" Yesterday i got 5 email entries ,,, before 1030am ! That is a lot of time rejecting the junk they are pushing, pages and pages of it, not just magazines.
Last week i got an email entry that took not a minute or two on-line, but over 5 minutes ! It just kept going on and on , page after page of 'stuff' i probably did not want, and in this terrible economy do not need to be in debt for. So i decided to actually read the rules from PCH,,, and i was shocked.
8 jan 2012 entry says "OFFICIAL RULES A limit of one online entry per day is allowed per individual and per email address from this online promotion unless otherwise specified. Subsequent entries determined to be submitted from the same email address or from the same individual using multiple email addresses in violation of this rule WILL BE DECLARED INELIGIBLE.
All entries received by 11:59 P.M., ET, 3/31/12 from this Bulletin will be eligible for our $3 Million SuperPrize (r) (Giveaway No. 1830)."
Then scroll down and under "SWEEPSTAKES FACTS" it says "Winner may be determined earlier." !!!
and ,,, "Enter As Often As You Like. You don't have to wait for us to e-mail you an entry opportunity." !!
SO BY THEIR OWN RULES, IN DIRECT CONFLICT ABOUT ONE EMAIL ENTRY PER DAY PER PERSON AND "Enter As Often As You Like", the winner might have already been chosen, and i have already been "DECLARED INELIGIBLE" because i accepted PCH's 5 email entry offers and urgings, before 1030am,,, so why waste my time !? You, PCH, have already disqualified me, so stop sending me entries with are worthless by your own contrary rules !!
So i called , twice, and yes , both the male and female who eventually answered the phone for PCH said "yes, you can only enter once per day per person."
I believe most Americans are under the PCH pushed false impression and statement that you can "Enter As Often As You Like". And this is why i hate De-Regulation and the Republicans pushing it; it results in widespread DISHONESTY! People and society needs rules!, just like capitalism needs rules!, not some unfettered fantasy unproven and pushed by some extreme right-wing politicians trying to bankrupt Social Security and Medicare.
President Bush would not recognize "global warming" as a scientific fact, so the glaciers in Glacier National Park and Alaska are melting much faster that if we had put the best stack cleaning technology on all our coal plants and factories. President Bush, we now know, lied to us about "links to al queda" and "weapons of mass destruction" and the "threat of the Iranian leader staying in power" to get us into a costly war we still can not afford in blood and not just $Billions, but $Trillions of wasted tax dollars ,,, that could have been SPENT BETTER ON REPAIRING THE U.S. INFRASTRUCTURE.
We need blogs, because the American media is now ENTHRALLED with the circus of the Republican races, without a hint of reality honesty about what this will mean in just 4 more years or 8 more years, to all of us, not just the super rich individuals sick with greed and the super profitable corporations sick with unjustified massive tax breaks when OUR NATION is sooo in debt. Many voters seem to be as irresponsible to our nation and this national debt as to think more tax cuts are the answer, just like children would.
The American media should be doing a much better job. We lost the "Newsroom" PBS9 tv show in the sfbayarea, and reports talking honestly about politicians has never been the same since.
